The years when I was reborn as a giant in the antique world
Chapter 38 Jinjiang Genuine Edition
At this time, Yun Zhou was surrounded by people.
From the moment the store owner set off firecrackers to celebrate the rise, waves of people poured in from the door of the store, gathering in the yard like a tide.
Many people have seen the rare high-ice floating flower jadeite just now, while others were delayed by things and only rushed over now.
"Is it really the material of the high ice species?"
"Of course, I saw it with my own eyes. The head of the water is really amazing!"
"It's a pity that I wasn't here just now. It's a pity."
"Who is so lucky? It's as lucky as winning a lottery ticket!"
"That's the boy."
"You look so young—"
Hearing that Yun Zhou was the one who unwrapped the high-ice jadeite, everyone's eyes instantly focused on him like a searchlight, looking up and down.
Those eyes were full of various emotions such as curiosity, surprise, envy, jealousy, and so on.
Especially when he saw that he was about to dissect the stone, the crowd let out bursts of boos like cheers, and his surroundings were surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, making it airtight.
There were quite a few people standing on tiptoes and stretching their necks to squeeze in, and the whole yard was noisy.
Yun Zhou was a little uncomfortable being looked at by all kinds of eyes. He was very glad that he had other woolen materials, otherwise it would definitely not be a good thing to attract too much attention.
The piece of wool he picked out at random was a rock with a rusty leather shell. It was not big, and it was a triangle with a diameter of about fifteen centimeters. The skin was rust-colored and dark in color.
The wool of this kind of rusty leather shell generally contains high iron elements, and most of the bottom ash is not good in type and color.
There is gray-black ringworm on the bottom of the wool, like a gray plaster, with some black spots on it. This kind of ringworm is called black spot ringworm.
Black dot ringworm can be seen from the density of black spots, if the density is high, you can't bet on it.
The ringworm of jadeite has a harmful effect on the green color of jadeite, but as the saying goes, "greenness follows the ringworm", there is a high probability of ringworm, but at the same time ringworm also eats color, which has extremely high duality.
Therefore, when rubbing stones, we will choose the method of "first rubbing, second wiping dryness, third rubbing ringworm, and fourth rubbing pine flowers" in order to rub out green.
Master Jieshi took the woolen material in his hand and looked it over.
He is not very optimistic about this piece of wool, the foundation is not good, and there are no pine flowers and python belts. The only thing that can be seen is the black ringworm at the bottom. It is not sure whether the ringworm will erode the interior of the jadeite.
However, no one is optimistic about the piece of wool with bad cracks. Didn't it still unravel the high-ice floating flower jadeite?
In his view, betting on stones is not only betting on wool performance, but also betting on luck.
Luck is an illusory thing, and no one knows who will suddenly fall on it.However, sometimes luck can't stop it. I just don't know if this young man's good luck can continue.
Master Jieshi: "How do you want to solve it?"My suggestion is to rub the ringworm on the place first, and cut it directly if there is no green. "
"Okay." Yun Zhou naturally had no objection.
The sound of the grinding wheel rustling sounded, and many people were staring at the movement of the wool to see if they could rub green.
With black debris falling down continuously, the stone-resolving master pressed the switch and washed away the dirt on the surface with clean water, only to see that the cut surface was dry, dull, rough in texture, and the color was thick dark green, which can be seen with the naked eye Coarse particles, poor light transmission, are low-grade dried green species.
Moreover, there are a lot of black impurities in this piece of dried green seed. It can be seen that black spot ringworm has penetrated into the jade.
"It's not scratched, let's cut it and see what's inside." Master Jie Shi said in a deep voice.
Dried green jadeite belongs to low-grade jadeite, and a bracelet with a clear color can be sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars. No one wants dozens of dollars like this with impurities, and polishing and polishing is a waste of time.
Putting the wool into the stone-cleaning machine, the ear-piercing friction sound of the metal gears 'zilazila' sounded, which also affected people's hearts.
Five minutes later, Master Jieshi took out the wool material that had been cut in half, and sighed softly, "It's broken."
Not to mention the dried green seeds with impurities, this time there are white stones on both sides, not even a little green.
"The wool is not big in the first place, so there is no need to cut it again."
"That's right, it seems that finding the high-ice jade is just luck."
"Of course it's luck, otherwise what else could it be?"
"What's wrong with luck? If I have such luck, I'll die of happiness. It's 4000 million, and I have two big villas."
Seeing that the wool was cut to pieces within 10 minutes, many people couldn't help shaking their heads. It seems that this young man's luck was just a flash in the pan, nothing special.
"Is it still solved?" Master Xie Shi asked Yun Zhou.
"No need to untie it." The young man replied, he knew that this piece of wool would collapse, and there was no need to cut it.
"By the way, young man, can you sell the big piece of wool you just cut?"
The middle-aged man with a big gold chain around his neck pointed to the more than 100-kilogram material with a bad split. At that time, only the bottom part was cut off, and three quarters of the wool was thrown there. It's still pretty impressive.
"That—" Yun Zhou was taken aback for a moment, it was obviously a scrap that was cut.
But what he didn't know was that no matter how wasteful this piece of material was, it would still be the material from which the high-ice floating flower jadeite was extracted, not to mention that there was such a large piece left, which weighed more than 100 kilograms.
If another piece of material the size of a baby's fist can be produced in any part, it will cost hundreds of thousands to carve two pendants.
"I'll give 5000 yuan to buy it for a try. Anyway, it's not bad, haha." The middle-aged man stroked his beer belly, showing the jade ring on his hand, looking at the head of the water, at least it was a high ice species Yang Lu, which shows how rich he is.
"Boss Yu wants to buy such a large piece of material for 5000 yuan. This is not in line with your status. I will offer 6000!"
"I bought it for 7000 yuan."
"8000, I offer 8000!"
……
In the end, this piece of waste was scrambled by the emotional people around, and was photographed by the boss Yu at a high price of 3 yuan, waiting for the stone to be cut.
No one wanted the 3000 yuan of wool before, but now it is a lot of fun to fight for this piece of scrap, which is so ridiculous sometimes.
Yun Zhou looked at the dim sky and the fact that most of the crowd in the yard hadn't dispersed, so he didn't plan to continue to analyze stones.
He also has two pieces of black black sand wool, one of which has more aura than the high ice one, if it is a glass one, it will really show off.
It just so happened that Xue Yifan sent him a message. He and Hong Hai had finished visiting the shops on Yushi Street and were about to come back. Hong Hai's mood had completely stabilized.
Hong Hai wasn't the kind of person with a delicate mind. He was just a little too excited by the ups and downs of the price at that time, so he just diverted his attention when he encountered other things.
Several people made an appointment to meet in the underground parking lot.
"Young master, Hong Hai and the others are coming, let's go and meet them." Yun Zhou said to Xu Ze, "These two pieces of black black sand are not big, so you might have to put them in the trunk and take them home."
"No problem." Xu Ze looked at the two pieces of black black sand wool that were a little bigger than an adult's fist, "I just want to take this piece of high-ice floating flower jadeite to the jade carving master as soon as possible. There is a stone-dissolving machine there. You can untangle stones there."
"Okay." This is exactly what Yunzhou thought. He didn't have stone-dissolving equipment at home, so he couldn't operate it.
Xu Ze's jadeite processing factory has the best stone-cutting equipment, and no one will know if it can extract this material.
"Master, I don't understand the remaining two pieces of wool. Let's go back first."
After knowing that Yunzhou gave up on Jieshi, the people around were a little disappointed.But the next thing to solve is the more than 100-kilogram piece of wool that Boss Yu just photographed, and people's eyes were attracted to it again. What if this piece of wool can also be solved to extract high-ice jadeite?
After all, it is the same piece of wool.
Xu Ze came to the counter with jade in his arms and asked the store for some packaging.
First, the 4000 million worth of jadeite was wrapped several times thickly with cotton cloth, and then put it in a custom-made wooden box. Seal it off with a nail to make sure there won't be any bumps.
The other two pieces of chopped ice waxy apple green and oil green full green jadeite were put into another box, which was also sealed.
The two were escorted by the clerk to the parking lot. Xu Ze held the wooden box tightly in his arms, pursed his lips slightly, and looked a little nervous.
This is an emerald worth tens of millions, and it is also the hope of the branch, so there must be no mistakes.
After opening the trunk, Xu Ze pried off the nails on the wooden box, put the jade and foam inside into a small safe, and set the password and fingerprints.Then he carried it and put it under the passenger seat, so that it was safer where he could see it.
The clerk put another large wooden box into the trunk, as did Yunzhou's two pieces of black Usa, and stuffed a few pieces of plastic foam into the wooden box.
After a while, Hong Hai and Xue Yifan came back.
Hong Hai opened the car door and found that the front seat was occupied, so he had to go to the back and sit with Yun Zhou and the two, but the Land Rover had a lot of space and was not crowded.
"Oh, I'm starving to death. I'm treating guests today. Let's go to have a big meal—" Hong Hai resumed his usual carefree temperament, "Young Master, you are familiar with this place, let's go eat something special."
"Brother Hai, let me invite you."
Yun Zhou said with a slight smile: "Today, I am lucky to bet that I have gained a piece of wool."
"Amazing, Xiao Zhouzhou!" Hong Hai patted him on the shoulder suddenly, "It's really good that the bet went up for the first time betting on stones. Where's the eldest?"
He didn't ask how much Yunzhou's bet has increased, and guessed it should be higher than his own. After all, it can't be several million, and even tens of millions have never even thought about it.
"I lost my bet, but I bought a good piece of material." Xu Ze's voice was not as cold as before, which showed that he was in a very good mood.
"Wow, what material is it? It's the one in the safe under the co-pilot. Let us have a look later!"
"Well, I'll go back to Shanghai in the evening." Xu Ze glanced at the rearview mirror, and was rarely easy to talk to.
Seeing this, Hong Hai didn't ask any further questions, but took out a palm-sized wooden box from his pocket. After opening it, there was a pair of shiny and translucent jadeite bracelets on the flannel.
The surface of the bracelet has a delicate luster like oil, the color is dark, with a little gray in the blue, and a little fluorescent, it is very beautiful and has an elegant feeling.
"This pair of bracelets was picked by Yifan and I in the store. They are not bad. They are grayish-blue jadeite of oil green variety. Although the color is not the true green, it is my mother's favorite color. It cost 5 yuan. "
Hong Hai showed the bracelet to Yun Zhou, his face was full of excitement, "I thought before that the piece of wool was sold at a loss, but now that I think about it, it's not enough to earn more than 7 yuan for nothing. I got a pair of bracelets for nothing, hehe, There are still left."
He is completely thinking about it now. He originally wanted to buy things for his mother out of his own pocket, but now he doesn't need to touch his small coffers at all, and the money for gambling with stones is enough.
However, this kind of exciting attempt is enough, and he will never touch it again.
Xue Yifan also bought a few small pendants for his family, because the market tends to be half wholesale and half retail, and the prices are much cheaper than jewelry stores.
Yun Zhou also wanted to buy a piece of jewelry for his mother, and he thought of the ice-filled green bracelet placed in the headquarter of Handed down Jewelry.
At that time, 550 million was a sky-high price for him, and he couldn't even afford it alone. However, after only half a day, he had funds several times that price, which was like a dream.
This is all thanks to Little Yulong, and... the Great Emperor.
Thinking of the dream he had last time, Yun Zhou blushed a little. Well, it wasn't just that time, he had dreamed about the other party more than once - it was really embarrassing.
So much so that recently, teenagers have been afraid to burn incense in front of the portrait of the Great Emperor, for fear of being seen through their secret thoughts.
Alas, he gently stroked the sleeping little Yulong on his wrist with his fingertips, and he missed him a little more.
**
The Land Rover soon stopped in front of a five-star restaurant.
The few people were so hungry that their stomachs were growling, and they were not polite. They basically ordered all the signature dishes and ate to their hearts' content.
Xu Ze didn't get out of the car in consideration of Fei Cui, but asked Yun Zhou to pack some snacks for him, and ate a little casually.
After eating and drinking, the vehicle speeds on the highway. When they arrive in Shanghai, they will check into the hotel first, and return to school after going down the next day.
After arriving at the hotel, it was already 9 o'clock in the evening. After a day of ups and downs, Hong Hai was so sleepy in the car that he couldn't keep his eyes open, but he still clamored to see the emerald.
Xu Ze didn't move the safe up, but put it on the back seat, and turned on the lights in the corner of the underground parking lot.
The security of this hotel is very good, and their location is very hidden, so there is no need to worry about any problems. Besides, no one here knows that there is a piece of emerald worth tens of millions in the car.
Hong Hai and Xue Yifan hurriedly took a closer look. Under the light that was not too strong, the almost completely transparent jadeite glowed with light fluorescence, and had a texture as clear as ice, flowing like an ice spring, almost moist. to leak out.
There are wisps and dots of green floating in the translucent base, ethereal like smoke, dreamlike, elegant and beautiful.
Hong Hai looked straight at it, it was simply too beautiful, and it was such a large piece of material, pure and flawless, who wouldn't like such jadeite?
Who said that only women like jade, he likes it too!
"Boss, it's close to glass in terms of transparency. How much is this?" Hong Hai asked in a low voice. He didn't even dare to think about the price. It felt like it would cost tens of millions... right?
Xu Ze paused before whispering, "More than 3000 million."
"Damn it, three thousand—" Hong Hai hurriedly covered his mouth before calling out, took a few breaths and said, "Young Master, you, you put it away quickly, it has to be kept safe."
My god, this is too expensive and scary.
Xu Ze said 'hmm', and closed the safe again, "Go and rest first, Yun Zhou and I will go to the processing factory and come back tomorrow morning."
"Okay, okay." Hong Hai looked around in fear, huh, luckily no one was there.
Ever since he knew the price of this piece of jadeite, he has been a little terrified, and he especially hopes that this piece of jadeite can go to its place as soon as possible.
More than 3000 million, oh my god, let him hold it and probably won't even be able to sleep well.
Hong Hai and the two went to the hotel to rest. On the other side, the Land Rover drove on the elevated again, and half an hour later they arrived at the processing factory not far from the head office of Handed down Jewelry.
The security guards at the courtyard gate greeted the familiar license plate number immediately, "Master Xu." Then they quickly moved the wool and boxes in the trunk into the house.
The safe on the co-pilot was naturally held by Xu Ze himself, but he didn't expect to see Mr. Xu as soon as he walked out the door.He frowned slightly, and immediately strode forward to greet him: "Grandpa, it's so late, why are you here?"
The old man pays attention to health preservation, his biological clock is always on time, he will definitely go to bed before 10 o'clock every day, and now it will be 10 o'clock, how come here.
"Hey, of course I want to come over. Where's the high-ice floating flower jadeite? I have to take a look, or I won't be able to sleep." Mr. Xu coughed a few times excitedly when he saw the safe in his hand. Yunzhou standing aside.
"Grandpa Xu, I'm Xu Ze's roommate, named Yunzhou. The cloud of white clouds, the boat of a flat boat."
Yun Zhou introduced himself politely, with two small dimples looming on his cheeks, clear eyes, and a clean demeanor, which made people feel good at first sight.
"Yunzhou, haha, good name. I'm Xu Ze's grandfather." Mr. Xu smiled and glanced at his grandson who didn't have a cold face, and he understood.
His grandson has always been cautious and arrogant, and his parents are not around, so his personality is unavoidably withdrawn. He has almost no friends since he was a child.Being able to bring his classmates here this time shows that the relationship is very good.
"Grandpa, let's go in first."
As the weather turned colder, Xu Ze was worried about the old man's health, so he entered the room with him.
This is a large workshop, and there are more than 20 people busy working at such a late hour, all kinds of cutting machines, polishing machines and other machines are dazzling.
"Jade carving masters and designers have special workshops to ensure that they will not be disturbed when carving. Most of the people outside are apprentices and staff." Xu Ze briefly introduced to Yunzhou as he walked.
"Is Master Qiao there?" Xu Ze asked the assistant in a low voice when he came to the outer room of the innermost workshop.
"Yes, but the master is carving an ice-seeded Guanyin pendant, and it may take a while. Otherwise, I'll call first—"
When the assistant saw Mr. Xu and Xu Ze, he didn't dare to neglect them at all.
"No, don't disturb Master Qiao just now." Xu Ze signaled the assistant to go to work on him, and then put the safe on the table.
This piece of jade weighed more than ten kilograms, and his arm was so sore from carrying it all the way, but he didn't dare to hand it to someone else because it was so important.
After entering the password and fingerprint, the safe opened automatically. Mr. Xu removed all the surrounding foam and the cotton cloth wrapped around the emerald, and the complete emerald was presented in front of him.
"...Well, the water head is very good. The high ice type is close to the glass type. The floating flowers on it are so beautiful. It must be very beautiful when made into a bracelet. It can be regarded as a fine product."
Mr. Xu couldn't wait to put the jadeite on the table, and took out the flashlight to illuminate it inch by inch. He was a little excited: such a large piece of material can be taken care of not only in N City, but also in three or four branches around it. High-end jadeite will not be special in a short time. Shortage!
After a while, Mr. Xu turned off the flashlight and sighed, "It's really... I haven't seen such a good material for several years."
The most rare thing is that there are almost no flaws, no cracks, impurities, etc., and the utilization rate is very high. There is no redundant part except for a little scrap left over from the workmanship.
"In my opinion, at least 12-13 pairs of bracelets can be produced from this piece of material, and there are even more pendants, pendants, etc. Aze, how much did you pay for this piece of wool?"
He calculated in his mind, according to the current market conditions, if all this material is made into jewelry, the total value should exceed 8000 million.
The bracelets and pendants of Zhengyang Green are enduring classics, but after a long time, it will inevitably make people feel a little tired.
Therefore, colorless glass, floating flowers, and blue water jadeite, which were not particularly valued before, have become very popular in recent years. nearly doubled.
According to his estimation, as long as the price of this piece of material is less than 6000 million, there will be a lot of profit, and if it is less than 5000 million, it is equivalent to picking up a bargain.
It is estimated that it should be around 5000 million. After all, apart from Yufu Jewelry, several other jewelers cannot provide so much liquidity for a while.
"...It cost 3300 million." Xu Ze glanced at Yunzhou and acquiesced in his kindness.Even the amount on the check was reissued at the boy's request.
"Hey, then you really got a big deal."
Mr. Xu glanced at him in surprise. Such a large piece of material was actually bought for 3300 million yuan, and the profit margin was much higher than before!
But then there was a hint of doubt in his eyes. Why didn't several other jewelers, especially Yufu Jewelry, which had been competing with them, not compete for this piece of material this time?
"En." Xu Ze's tone was very light, obviously he didn't want to say more.
Naturally, the old man wouldn't worry about this. It's a good thing that the profit is high, and it can just make up for the previous losses in the Burmese public market.
After a while, Master Qiao also came out. He was about five or sixty years old, his hair was slightly gray, his nasolabial folds were deep, and he looked very serious.
He has been an apprentice with his master since he was less than 20 years old, and has nearly 30 years of carving experience since he left the master.
There are three top jade carving masters like this handed down jewelry. Generally, only good materials above ice species will be handed over to Master Qiao and two other senior jade carving masters. Other basic items have a fixed process and do not need to be approved by these three masters. hand.
Master Qiao had just finished carving a Guanyin pendant, and he looked a little tired.
The material of that piece of ice is the leftovers after taking out the bracelets and pendants. The color distribution is not uniform, and there are a few strands of white cotton in the middle. He designed several styles to cover up the flaws, so that It might be exquisite, otherwise it wouldn't be so late.
Usually at this time, I should have fallen asleep in the room.
However, when he saw the jade that Mr. Xu put on the table, a dark gleam suddenly burst out from his slightly tired eyes, and he walked over immediately, and said in a hoarse voice: "This is a new material?!"
"Well, the high ice kind of floating flower jadeite, the water is very good, this floating flower is simply... perfect, so perfect, it can definitely make the most beautiful bracelet, no less than Zhengyang green—"
Master Qiao's face was completely devoid of distress, and he gently stroked the clear and transparent cut surface of the emerald, muttering to himself, falling into a state of obsession.
As the door of the workshop closed with a 'bang', the piece of high-ice jade with floating flowers disappeared in front of the eyes of the few people. Yun Zhou asked with some concern: "Young Master, it's so late, Master Qiao doesn't rest ?"
Mr. Xu chuckled: "These old masters can't restrain themselves when they see good materials. Don't worry, the assistant will arrange it."
There is a special rest room here, which is equivalent to a three-star hotel. These jade carving masters and staff can stay in it, which is convenient for them to shift shifts.
Mr. Xu will also live here tonight.
It was very late, and Yunzhou couldn't bear the excitement of betting on stones today, so he planned to rest first, and then resolve the stones tomorrow morning.
He does not know how to operate a calculus machine and needs a calculus master to be present.
"Young master, don't you share a room with me?" Yun Zhou saw that the rooms here are all double rooms, and the beds are also separated. There is a lot of space, more than enough for two people.
"...I'll go see grandpa." Xu Ze coughed lightly, turning his head to cover his slightly red ears, "Go to bed early."
"Okay, good night." After Yunzhou went to the bathroom to wash up, he lay on the bed, holding the jade pendant in his hand, wondering if the emperor would fall asleep.
**
late at night.
Thick and black Yin Qi enveloped the sleeping boy, who seemed to feel a little cold, stretched out his arm and pulled up the quilt, under the tugging, a delicate and small collarbone was exposed under the wide pajamas, Slightly undulate with breathing.
Emperor Fengdu pursed his lips lightly, his expression was somewhat gloomy.
The black robe on his body merged with the darkness, and the strong sinister aura also fell silent, as if he was dormant in the darkness, and as if he was desperately restraining something.
Sometimes he would come over when the boy was asleep, without doing anything, just looking at him quietly.
Several times, he struggled to pull back the black mist that wanted to erode the young man, and gathered it back to his side, ignoring the struggle and clamor in his heart, trying to restrain himself.
But it has been more than a month since the last time, and he never heard Yunzhou call his name again.
Looking at the jade pendant tightly held by the young man, Bei Ji was slightly lost in thought.
After a while, he touched his chest with his hand, there was a sour feeling there, especially when he occasionally saw Yun Zhou chatting and laughing with that stern young man through Xiao Yulong's eyes, his chest would feel inexplicably uncomfortable.
For thousands of years, Emperor Fengdu had never experienced such a feeling, and he didn't know why, it just felt very uncomfortable.
He didn't want to see Yun Zhou with that young man.
Emperor Fengdu frowned slightly, the temperature of the room dropped instantly, and the thick and black evil spirit flooded the entire room like black ink.
He walked forward slowly, and the Yin Qi behind him broke free and turned into thin black threads, slowly wrapping around the young man's white wrist——
Yun Zhou's face buried in the pillow gradually turned red, and his breathing also became rapid. He felt that he had fallen into that gorgeous dream again, tightly entangled and bound by a cloud of black mist, which was unavoidable. There is no escape.
It's just that this time the black mist still carried a familiar aura, and even turned into the handsome and inexhaustible appearance of Emperor Fengdu in the end.
"Great Emperor... Bei, Ji..." The boy called his name in his dream.
Emperor Fengdu froze for a moment, the soreness in his chest was slowly disappearing, replaced by a strong sense of satisfaction, full of swelling, and his heartbeat gradually became more intense, it was a very strange feeling.
He looked at the young man panting slightly in his sleep, his ears flushed, "This time you called my name, so—"
So don't blame him for being here.
At this time, Xiao Yulong had just had a full sleep, opened his mouth and yawned a little, raised his head from the boy's wrist, and shouted excitedly at him.
Bei Ji glanced at it, then at the sleeping boy, and whispered, "You have to watch over him, and try not to let others get close to him."
Xiao Yulong tilted his head, and nodded obediently after a while, and opened his mouth wide to reveal two shiny baby teeth, "Wow~ (Got it, I will definitely bite bad people!)"
It’s just that sometimes I can’t reach it QAQ
The man was silent for a moment, and the deep voice sounded again: "You should always mention me to him, you know?"
"Aww~ (Got it!)"
Bei Ji looked at the smooth scales on Little Yulong's body. Nearly one-third of the scales had turned silver, indicating that the young man took good care of it.
He felt happier again, and the corners of his lips curled up.
Emperor Fengdu looked at the sleeping boy for a while, and disappeared into the darkness with the thick black mist.
From the moment the store owner set off firecrackers to celebrate the rise, waves of people poured in from the door of the store, gathering in the yard like a tide.
Many people have seen the rare high-ice floating flower jadeite just now, while others were delayed by things and only rushed over now.
"Is it really the material of the high ice species?"
"Of course, I saw it with my own eyes. The head of the water is really amazing!"
"It's a pity that I wasn't here just now. It's a pity."
"Who is so lucky? It's as lucky as winning a lottery ticket!"
"That's the boy."
"You look so young—"
Hearing that Yun Zhou was the one who unwrapped the high-ice jadeite, everyone's eyes instantly focused on him like a searchlight, looking up and down.
Those eyes were full of various emotions such as curiosity, surprise, envy, jealousy, and so on.
Especially when he saw that he was about to dissect the stone, the crowd let out bursts of boos like cheers, and his surroundings were surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, making it airtight.
There were quite a few people standing on tiptoes and stretching their necks to squeeze in, and the whole yard was noisy.
Yun Zhou was a little uncomfortable being looked at by all kinds of eyes. He was very glad that he had other woolen materials, otherwise it would definitely not be a good thing to attract too much attention.
The piece of wool he picked out at random was a rock with a rusty leather shell. It was not big, and it was a triangle with a diameter of about fifteen centimeters. The skin was rust-colored and dark in color.
The wool of this kind of rusty leather shell generally contains high iron elements, and most of the bottom ash is not good in type and color.
There is gray-black ringworm on the bottom of the wool, like a gray plaster, with some black spots on it. This kind of ringworm is called black spot ringworm.
Black dot ringworm can be seen from the density of black spots, if the density is high, you can't bet on it.
The ringworm of jadeite has a harmful effect on the green color of jadeite, but as the saying goes, "greenness follows the ringworm", there is a high probability of ringworm, but at the same time ringworm also eats color, which has extremely high duality.
Therefore, when rubbing stones, we will choose the method of "first rubbing, second wiping dryness, third rubbing ringworm, and fourth rubbing pine flowers" in order to rub out green.
Master Jieshi took the woolen material in his hand and looked it over.
He is not very optimistic about this piece of wool, the foundation is not good, and there are no pine flowers and python belts. The only thing that can be seen is the black ringworm at the bottom. It is not sure whether the ringworm will erode the interior of the jadeite.
However, no one is optimistic about the piece of wool with bad cracks. Didn't it still unravel the high-ice floating flower jadeite?
In his view, betting on stones is not only betting on wool performance, but also betting on luck.
Luck is an illusory thing, and no one knows who will suddenly fall on it.However, sometimes luck can't stop it. I just don't know if this young man's good luck can continue.
Master Jieshi: "How do you want to solve it?"My suggestion is to rub the ringworm on the place first, and cut it directly if there is no green. "
"Okay." Yun Zhou naturally had no objection.
The sound of the grinding wheel rustling sounded, and many people were staring at the movement of the wool to see if they could rub green.
With black debris falling down continuously, the stone-resolving master pressed the switch and washed away the dirt on the surface with clean water, only to see that the cut surface was dry, dull, rough in texture, and the color was thick dark green, which can be seen with the naked eye Coarse particles, poor light transmission, are low-grade dried green species.
Moreover, there are a lot of black impurities in this piece of dried green seed. It can be seen that black spot ringworm has penetrated into the jade.
"It's not scratched, let's cut it and see what's inside." Master Jie Shi said in a deep voice.
Dried green jadeite belongs to low-grade jadeite, and a bracelet with a clear color can be sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars. No one wants dozens of dollars like this with impurities, and polishing and polishing is a waste of time.
Putting the wool into the stone-cleaning machine, the ear-piercing friction sound of the metal gears 'zilazila' sounded, which also affected people's hearts.
Five minutes later, Master Jieshi took out the wool material that had been cut in half, and sighed softly, "It's broken."
Not to mention the dried green seeds with impurities, this time there are white stones on both sides, not even a little green.
"The wool is not big in the first place, so there is no need to cut it again."
"That's right, it seems that finding the high-ice jade is just luck."
"Of course it's luck, otherwise what else could it be?"
"What's wrong with luck? If I have such luck, I'll die of happiness. It's 4000 million, and I have two big villas."
Seeing that the wool was cut to pieces within 10 minutes, many people couldn't help shaking their heads. It seems that this young man's luck was just a flash in the pan, nothing special.
"Is it still solved?" Master Xie Shi asked Yun Zhou.
"No need to untie it." The young man replied, he knew that this piece of wool would collapse, and there was no need to cut it.
"By the way, young man, can you sell the big piece of wool you just cut?"
The middle-aged man with a big gold chain around his neck pointed to the more than 100-kilogram material with a bad split. At that time, only the bottom part was cut off, and three quarters of the wool was thrown there. It's still pretty impressive.
"That—" Yun Zhou was taken aback for a moment, it was obviously a scrap that was cut.
But what he didn't know was that no matter how wasteful this piece of material was, it would still be the material from which the high-ice floating flower jadeite was extracted, not to mention that there was such a large piece left, which weighed more than 100 kilograms.
If another piece of material the size of a baby's fist can be produced in any part, it will cost hundreds of thousands to carve two pendants.
"I'll give 5000 yuan to buy it for a try. Anyway, it's not bad, haha." The middle-aged man stroked his beer belly, showing the jade ring on his hand, looking at the head of the water, at least it was a high ice species Yang Lu, which shows how rich he is.
"Boss Yu wants to buy such a large piece of material for 5000 yuan. This is not in line with your status. I will offer 6000!"
"I bought it for 7000 yuan."
"8000, I offer 8000!"
……
In the end, this piece of waste was scrambled by the emotional people around, and was photographed by the boss Yu at a high price of 3 yuan, waiting for the stone to be cut.
No one wanted the 3000 yuan of wool before, but now it is a lot of fun to fight for this piece of scrap, which is so ridiculous sometimes.
Yun Zhou looked at the dim sky and the fact that most of the crowd in the yard hadn't dispersed, so he didn't plan to continue to analyze stones.
He also has two pieces of black black sand wool, one of which has more aura than the high ice one, if it is a glass one, it will really show off.
It just so happened that Xue Yifan sent him a message. He and Hong Hai had finished visiting the shops on Yushi Street and were about to come back. Hong Hai's mood had completely stabilized.
Hong Hai wasn't the kind of person with a delicate mind. He was just a little too excited by the ups and downs of the price at that time, so he just diverted his attention when he encountered other things.
Several people made an appointment to meet in the underground parking lot.
"Young master, Hong Hai and the others are coming, let's go and meet them." Yun Zhou said to Xu Ze, "These two pieces of black black sand are not big, so you might have to put them in the trunk and take them home."
"No problem." Xu Ze looked at the two pieces of black black sand wool that were a little bigger than an adult's fist, "I just want to take this piece of high-ice floating flower jadeite to the jade carving master as soon as possible. There is a stone-dissolving machine there. You can untangle stones there."
"Okay." This is exactly what Yunzhou thought. He didn't have stone-dissolving equipment at home, so he couldn't operate it.
Xu Ze's jadeite processing factory has the best stone-cutting equipment, and no one will know if it can extract this material.
"Master, I don't understand the remaining two pieces of wool. Let's go back first."
After knowing that Yunzhou gave up on Jieshi, the people around were a little disappointed.But the next thing to solve is the more than 100-kilogram piece of wool that Boss Yu just photographed, and people's eyes were attracted to it again. What if this piece of wool can also be solved to extract high-ice jadeite?
After all, it is the same piece of wool.
Xu Ze came to the counter with jade in his arms and asked the store for some packaging.
First, the 4000 million worth of jadeite was wrapped several times thickly with cotton cloth, and then put it in a custom-made wooden box. Seal it off with a nail to make sure there won't be any bumps.
The other two pieces of chopped ice waxy apple green and oil green full green jadeite were put into another box, which was also sealed.
The two were escorted by the clerk to the parking lot. Xu Ze held the wooden box tightly in his arms, pursed his lips slightly, and looked a little nervous.
This is an emerald worth tens of millions, and it is also the hope of the branch, so there must be no mistakes.
After opening the trunk, Xu Ze pried off the nails on the wooden box, put the jade and foam inside into a small safe, and set the password and fingerprints.Then he carried it and put it under the passenger seat, so that it was safer where he could see it.
The clerk put another large wooden box into the trunk, as did Yunzhou's two pieces of black Usa, and stuffed a few pieces of plastic foam into the wooden box.
After a while, Hong Hai and Xue Yifan came back.
Hong Hai opened the car door and found that the front seat was occupied, so he had to go to the back and sit with Yun Zhou and the two, but the Land Rover had a lot of space and was not crowded.
"Oh, I'm starving to death. I'm treating guests today. Let's go to have a big meal—" Hong Hai resumed his usual carefree temperament, "Young Master, you are familiar with this place, let's go eat something special."
"Brother Hai, let me invite you."
Yun Zhou said with a slight smile: "Today, I am lucky to bet that I have gained a piece of wool."
"Amazing, Xiao Zhouzhou!" Hong Hai patted him on the shoulder suddenly, "It's really good that the bet went up for the first time betting on stones. Where's the eldest?"
He didn't ask how much Yunzhou's bet has increased, and guessed it should be higher than his own. After all, it can't be several million, and even tens of millions have never even thought about it.
"I lost my bet, but I bought a good piece of material." Xu Ze's voice was not as cold as before, which showed that he was in a very good mood.
"Wow, what material is it? It's the one in the safe under the co-pilot. Let us have a look later!"
"Well, I'll go back to Shanghai in the evening." Xu Ze glanced at the rearview mirror, and was rarely easy to talk to.
Seeing this, Hong Hai didn't ask any further questions, but took out a palm-sized wooden box from his pocket. After opening it, there was a pair of shiny and translucent jadeite bracelets on the flannel.
The surface of the bracelet has a delicate luster like oil, the color is dark, with a little gray in the blue, and a little fluorescent, it is very beautiful and has an elegant feeling.
"This pair of bracelets was picked by Yifan and I in the store. They are not bad. They are grayish-blue jadeite of oil green variety. Although the color is not the true green, it is my mother's favorite color. It cost 5 yuan. "
Hong Hai showed the bracelet to Yun Zhou, his face was full of excitement, "I thought before that the piece of wool was sold at a loss, but now that I think about it, it's not enough to earn more than 7 yuan for nothing. I got a pair of bracelets for nothing, hehe, There are still left."
He is completely thinking about it now. He originally wanted to buy things for his mother out of his own pocket, but now he doesn't need to touch his small coffers at all, and the money for gambling with stones is enough.
However, this kind of exciting attempt is enough, and he will never touch it again.
Xue Yifan also bought a few small pendants for his family, because the market tends to be half wholesale and half retail, and the prices are much cheaper than jewelry stores.
Yun Zhou also wanted to buy a piece of jewelry for his mother, and he thought of the ice-filled green bracelet placed in the headquarter of Handed down Jewelry.
At that time, 550 million was a sky-high price for him, and he couldn't even afford it alone. However, after only half a day, he had funds several times that price, which was like a dream.
This is all thanks to Little Yulong, and... the Great Emperor.
Thinking of the dream he had last time, Yun Zhou blushed a little. Well, it wasn't just that time, he had dreamed about the other party more than once - it was really embarrassing.
So much so that recently, teenagers have been afraid to burn incense in front of the portrait of the Great Emperor, for fear of being seen through their secret thoughts.
Alas, he gently stroked the sleeping little Yulong on his wrist with his fingertips, and he missed him a little more.
**
The Land Rover soon stopped in front of a five-star restaurant.
The few people were so hungry that their stomachs were growling, and they were not polite. They basically ordered all the signature dishes and ate to their hearts' content.
Xu Ze didn't get out of the car in consideration of Fei Cui, but asked Yun Zhou to pack some snacks for him, and ate a little casually.
After eating and drinking, the vehicle speeds on the highway. When they arrive in Shanghai, they will check into the hotel first, and return to school after going down the next day.
After arriving at the hotel, it was already 9 o'clock in the evening. After a day of ups and downs, Hong Hai was so sleepy in the car that he couldn't keep his eyes open, but he still clamored to see the emerald.
Xu Ze didn't move the safe up, but put it on the back seat, and turned on the lights in the corner of the underground parking lot.
The security of this hotel is very good, and their location is very hidden, so there is no need to worry about any problems. Besides, no one here knows that there is a piece of emerald worth tens of millions in the car.
Hong Hai and Xue Yifan hurriedly took a closer look. Under the light that was not too strong, the almost completely transparent jadeite glowed with light fluorescence, and had a texture as clear as ice, flowing like an ice spring, almost moist. to leak out.
There are wisps and dots of green floating in the translucent base, ethereal like smoke, dreamlike, elegant and beautiful.
Hong Hai looked straight at it, it was simply too beautiful, and it was such a large piece of material, pure and flawless, who wouldn't like such jadeite?
Who said that only women like jade, he likes it too!
"Boss, it's close to glass in terms of transparency. How much is this?" Hong Hai asked in a low voice. He didn't even dare to think about the price. It felt like it would cost tens of millions... right?
Xu Ze paused before whispering, "More than 3000 million."
"Damn it, three thousand—" Hong Hai hurriedly covered his mouth before calling out, took a few breaths and said, "Young Master, you, you put it away quickly, it has to be kept safe."
My god, this is too expensive and scary.
Xu Ze said 'hmm', and closed the safe again, "Go and rest first, Yun Zhou and I will go to the processing factory and come back tomorrow morning."
"Okay, okay." Hong Hai looked around in fear, huh, luckily no one was there.
Ever since he knew the price of this piece of jadeite, he has been a little terrified, and he especially hopes that this piece of jadeite can go to its place as soon as possible.
More than 3000 million, oh my god, let him hold it and probably won't even be able to sleep well.
Hong Hai and the two went to the hotel to rest. On the other side, the Land Rover drove on the elevated again, and half an hour later they arrived at the processing factory not far from the head office of Handed down Jewelry.
The security guards at the courtyard gate greeted the familiar license plate number immediately, "Master Xu." Then they quickly moved the wool and boxes in the trunk into the house.
The safe on the co-pilot was naturally held by Xu Ze himself, but he didn't expect to see Mr. Xu as soon as he walked out the door.He frowned slightly, and immediately strode forward to greet him: "Grandpa, it's so late, why are you here?"
The old man pays attention to health preservation, his biological clock is always on time, he will definitely go to bed before 10 o'clock every day, and now it will be 10 o'clock, how come here.
"Hey, of course I want to come over. Where's the high-ice floating flower jadeite? I have to take a look, or I won't be able to sleep." Mr. Xu coughed a few times excitedly when he saw the safe in his hand. Yunzhou standing aside.
"Grandpa Xu, I'm Xu Ze's roommate, named Yunzhou. The cloud of white clouds, the boat of a flat boat."
Yun Zhou introduced himself politely, with two small dimples looming on his cheeks, clear eyes, and a clean demeanor, which made people feel good at first sight.
"Yunzhou, haha, good name. I'm Xu Ze's grandfather." Mr. Xu smiled and glanced at his grandson who didn't have a cold face, and he understood.
His grandson has always been cautious and arrogant, and his parents are not around, so his personality is unavoidably withdrawn. He has almost no friends since he was a child.Being able to bring his classmates here this time shows that the relationship is very good.
"Grandpa, let's go in first."
As the weather turned colder, Xu Ze was worried about the old man's health, so he entered the room with him.
This is a large workshop, and there are more than 20 people busy working at such a late hour, all kinds of cutting machines, polishing machines and other machines are dazzling.
"Jade carving masters and designers have special workshops to ensure that they will not be disturbed when carving. Most of the people outside are apprentices and staff." Xu Ze briefly introduced to Yunzhou as he walked.
"Is Master Qiao there?" Xu Ze asked the assistant in a low voice when he came to the outer room of the innermost workshop.
"Yes, but the master is carving an ice-seeded Guanyin pendant, and it may take a while. Otherwise, I'll call first—"
When the assistant saw Mr. Xu and Xu Ze, he didn't dare to neglect them at all.
"No, don't disturb Master Qiao just now." Xu Ze signaled the assistant to go to work on him, and then put the safe on the table.
This piece of jade weighed more than ten kilograms, and his arm was so sore from carrying it all the way, but he didn't dare to hand it to someone else because it was so important.
After entering the password and fingerprint, the safe opened automatically. Mr. Xu removed all the surrounding foam and the cotton cloth wrapped around the emerald, and the complete emerald was presented in front of him.
"...Well, the water head is very good. The high ice type is close to the glass type. The floating flowers on it are so beautiful. It must be very beautiful when made into a bracelet. It can be regarded as a fine product."
Mr. Xu couldn't wait to put the jadeite on the table, and took out the flashlight to illuminate it inch by inch. He was a little excited: such a large piece of material can be taken care of not only in N City, but also in three or four branches around it. High-end jadeite will not be special in a short time. Shortage!
After a while, Mr. Xu turned off the flashlight and sighed, "It's really... I haven't seen such a good material for several years."
The most rare thing is that there are almost no flaws, no cracks, impurities, etc., and the utilization rate is very high. There is no redundant part except for a little scrap left over from the workmanship.
"In my opinion, at least 12-13 pairs of bracelets can be produced from this piece of material, and there are even more pendants, pendants, etc. Aze, how much did you pay for this piece of wool?"
He calculated in his mind, according to the current market conditions, if all this material is made into jewelry, the total value should exceed 8000 million.
The bracelets and pendants of Zhengyang Green are enduring classics, but after a long time, it will inevitably make people feel a little tired.
Therefore, colorless glass, floating flowers, and blue water jadeite, which were not particularly valued before, have become very popular in recent years. nearly doubled.
According to his estimation, as long as the price of this piece of material is less than 6000 million, there will be a lot of profit, and if it is less than 5000 million, it is equivalent to picking up a bargain.
It is estimated that it should be around 5000 million. After all, apart from Yufu Jewelry, several other jewelers cannot provide so much liquidity for a while.
"...It cost 3300 million." Xu Ze glanced at Yunzhou and acquiesced in his kindness.Even the amount on the check was reissued at the boy's request.
"Hey, then you really got a big deal."
Mr. Xu glanced at him in surprise. Such a large piece of material was actually bought for 3300 million yuan, and the profit margin was much higher than before!
But then there was a hint of doubt in his eyes. Why didn't several other jewelers, especially Yufu Jewelry, which had been competing with them, not compete for this piece of material this time?
"En." Xu Ze's tone was very light, obviously he didn't want to say more.
Naturally, the old man wouldn't worry about this. It's a good thing that the profit is high, and it can just make up for the previous losses in the Burmese public market.
After a while, Master Qiao also came out. He was about five or sixty years old, his hair was slightly gray, his nasolabial folds were deep, and he looked very serious.
He has been an apprentice with his master since he was less than 20 years old, and has nearly 30 years of carving experience since he left the master.
There are three top jade carving masters like this handed down jewelry. Generally, only good materials above ice species will be handed over to Master Qiao and two other senior jade carving masters. Other basic items have a fixed process and do not need to be approved by these three masters. hand.
Master Qiao had just finished carving a Guanyin pendant, and he looked a little tired.
The material of that piece of ice is the leftovers after taking out the bracelets and pendants. The color distribution is not uniform, and there are a few strands of white cotton in the middle. He designed several styles to cover up the flaws, so that It might be exquisite, otherwise it wouldn't be so late.
Usually at this time, I should have fallen asleep in the room.
However, when he saw the jade that Mr. Xu put on the table, a dark gleam suddenly burst out from his slightly tired eyes, and he walked over immediately, and said in a hoarse voice: "This is a new material?!"
"Well, the high ice kind of floating flower jadeite, the water is very good, this floating flower is simply... perfect, so perfect, it can definitely make the most beautiful bracelet, no less than Zhengyang green—"
Master Qiao's face was completely devoid of distress, and he gently stroked the clear and transparent cut surface of the emerald, muttering to himself, falling into a state of obsession.
As the door of the workshop closed with a 'bang', the piece of high-ice jade with floating flowers disappeared in front of the eyes of the few people. Yun Zhou asked with some concern: "Young Master, it's so late, Master Qiao doesn't rest ?"
Mr. Xu chuckled: "These old masters can't restrain themselves when they see good materials. Don't worry, the assistant will arrange it."
There is a special rest room here, which is equivalent to a three-star hotel. These jade carving masters and staff can stay in it, which is convenient for them to shift shifts.
Mr. Xu will also live here tonight.
It was very late, and Yunzhou couldn't bear the excitement of betting on stones today, so he planned to rest first, and then resolve the stones tomorrow morning.
He does not know how to operate a calculus machine and needs a calculus master to be present.
"Young master, don't you share a room with me?" Yun Zhou saw that the rooms here are all double rooms, and the beds are also separated. There is a lot of space, more than enough for two people.
"...I'll go see grandpa." Xu Ze coughed lightly, turning his head to cover his slightly red ears, "Go to bed early."
"Okay, good night." After Yunzhou went to the bathroom to wash up, he lay on the bed, holding the jade pendant in his hand, wondering if the emperor would fall asleep.
**
late at night.
Thick and black Yin Qi enveloped the sleeping boy, who seemed to feel a little cold, stretched out his arm and pulled up the quilt, under the tugging, a delicate and small collarbone was exposed under the wide pajamas, Slightly undulate with breathing.
Emperor Fengdu pursed his lips lightly, his expression was somewhat gloomy.
The black robe on his body merged with the darkness, and the strong sinister aura also fell silent, as if he was dormant in the darkness, and as if he was desperately restraining something.
Sometimes he would come over when the boy was asleep, without doing anything, just looking at him quietly.
Several times, he struggled to pull back the black mist that wanted to erode the young man, and gathered it back to his side, ignoring the struggle and clamor in his heart, trying to restrain himself.
But it has been more than a month since the last time, and he never heard Yunzhou call his name again.
Looking at the jade pendant tightly held by the young man, Bei Ji was slightly lost in thought.
After a while, he touched his chest with his hand, there was a sour feeling there, especially when he occasionally saw Yun Zhou chatting and laughing with that stern young man through Xiao Yulong's eyes, his chest would feel inexplicably uncomfortable.
For thousands of years, Emperor Fengdu had never experienced such a feeling, and he didn't know why, it just felt very uncomfortable.
He didn't want to see Yun Zhou with that young man.
Emperor Fengdu frowned slightly, the temperature of the room dropped instantly, and the thick and black evil spirit flooded the entire room like black ink.
He walked forward slowly, and the Yin Qi behind him broke free and turned into thin black threads, slowly wrapping around the young man's white wrist——
Yun Zhou's face buried in the pillow gradually turned red, and his breathing also became rapid. He felt that he had fallen into that gorgeous dream again, tightly entangled and bound by a cloud of black mist, which was unavoidable. There is no escape.
It's just that this time the black mist still carried a familiar aura, and even turned into the handsome and inexhaustible appearance of Emperor Fengdu in the end.
"Great Emperor... Bei, Ji..." The boy called his name in his dream.
Emperor Fengdu froze for a moment, the soreness in his chest was slowly disappearing, replaced by a strong sense of satisfaction, full of swelling, and his heartbeat gradually became more intense, it was a very strange feeling.
He looked at the young man panting slightly in his sleep, his ears flushed, "This time you called my name, so—"
So don't blame him for being here.
At this time, Xiao Yulong had just had a full sleep, opened his mouth and yawned a little, raised his head from the boy's wrist, and shouted excitedly at him.
Bei Ji glanced at it, then at the sleeping boy, and whispered, "You have to watch over him, and try not to let others get close to him."
Xiao Yulong tilted his head, and nodded obediently after a while, and opened his mouth wide to reveal two shiny baby teeth, "Wow~ (Got it, I will definitely bite bad people!)"
It’s just that sometimes I can’t reach it QAQ
The man was silent for a moment, and the deep voice sounded again: "You should always mention me to him, you know?"
"Aww~ (Got it!)"
Bei Ji looked at the smooth scales on Little Yulong's body. Nearly one-third of the scales had turned silver, indicating that the young man took good care of it.
He felt happier again, and the corners of his lips curled up.
Emperor Fengdu looked at the sleeping boy for a while, and disappeared into the darkness with the thick black mist.
